I, from 1000 years ago

Chapter 272

In the quiet airspace, the huge fleet moved forward quietly.

Having completed the task, the Eighth Fleet and the Tenth Fleet officially withdrew from the theater and embarked on a voyage back to the Empire.

Lin Jian stood with folded arms on the attack platform of the Rosamund, looking at the distant star field in a daze.It has been two days since I left the Elendar galaxy, and what Lin Mo said in the office that day still seems to linger in my ears.

When she was completely unprepared, he appeared in her office and said something that shocked her.Before she could fully react, he left like a gust of wind.

Looking back now, Lin Jian had too many doubts in his mind.

Lin Mo is only 35 years old this year, and he is at the peak of his life.Even five years later, he will only be 40 years old. In this era when the average life expectancy of human beings has already exceeded [-] years, he is still young.Why is he so eager to build the next pillar for the Lin family?She even has genetic issues.They all know how serious the problem is.Granshire is an example. Being the eldest son and having excellent grades can cover up his problem and be abandoned by the family.

According to Lin Mo's age and current status, after he gets married and has children, he can train his children to be the head of the next generation of Lin family.

It can be said that in the entire Galactic Empire, the only person who has the ability to shake his position is the young emperor in the court.

Thinking of this, Lin Jian frowned.It's not that she doesn't know about things like Asuka's end and Liang Gongzang, but she doesn't think that child will be so urgent.

"Why are you here again?" Brant's voice sounded at the entrance of the attack platform.

"Why can you find me wherever I go?" Lin Jian asked, looking sideways at him.

"Where else can you go? When you have troubles, you either sweat in the physical training room or just stay here in a daze." Brant approached, stroked his chin and raised his eyebrows, with an exaggerated bad boy look on his face, "How about it? If you can't think about it, let me, the life mentor, explain it to you."

Hearing Brant's words, Lin Jian laughed.

Just smiling, the expression on his face gradually faded, "I do have some things I don't understand, maybe you understand not only women's thoughts but also men's tricks?"

"Don't say that. When it comes to tricks, I have always believed that men are no match for women." Brant also laughed when he heard this, "However, I'm afraid you don't have the heart to talk to me about it now. If you have any doubts, just ask."

Lin Jian turned her head and continued to look at the deep airspace outside the attack platform, and told Brandt what happened two days ago.

Brant also put away the laughing expression on his face, and nodded while listening seriously.

"Why did he choose me? I don't understand. He replaced the question with Lin Zi's irresponsibility, as if he hadn't answered the question." Lin Jian said, "I guess it might be the emperor's reason, but if The emperor is afraid of his power, so what difference does it make if he pushes me to that position? The Lin family still controls the military power of the empire, but with a different person. If the above guesses are true, then is the emperor's approach wrong? Too eager? The civil war has only been in the past year, and the other two major regimes in the galaxy are still at war, so he feels that his seat is so secure that he can cut off one of his own hands?"

"Well, Mr. Marshal is really unexpected this time." Brandt clicked his tongue after hearing this, but then changed the topic, "Although I don't like him very much, I have to admit that he is a very powerful person. It doesn't make sense He won't do things like this. From this point of view, his situation is indeed not very good. I'm afraid we don't know what the court has done. And your previous analysis of Ellewind's intelligence may also be on point gone."

"You mean this is indeed a compromise to court pressure?"

"Only a few people know about your relationship with Lin Mo." Brandt walked to Lin Jian and looked at her. "In the eyes of the world, you are still the most proud sister of the Marshal of the Empire. It is with him Relatives with the closest ties."

"I still don't understand." Lin Jian frowned upon hearing Brant's words.

"I think Lin Mo may have sensed the crisis and wanted to make a deal with the court. On the one hand, the court must hand over military power to the Lin family again, and on the other hand, Lin Mo must pay something for this, so that the court can use it as a check and balance The Lin family." This time, Brant simply explained the matter a little more clearly, "To put it bluntly, Lin Mo may want to exchange himself for the next glory of the Lin family."

Yes, if this is the case, then he must not wait for his children to take his place.He could only focus on his younger siblings.He believed that Lin Zi did not have the ability to take care of the family. Lin Hong had long hated the family. Only himself, a person who was looking for a sense of belonging in a strange era, could follow his path.Lin Jian stopped talking, and lowered his eyes facing the deep airspace.

At 22:[-] p.m. standard time on June [-], the Eighth Fleet sailed into the territory of the Empire.

On the day they evacuated the Ellunda galaxy, Lin Mo led the fleet towards the star area of ​​the Ellunda galaxy.

After Lin Mo left the office, Lin Jian saw a small memory on her desk.The content in the memory is the combat order for the next step of the battle of Erlunda.Of course, the next combat mission has nothing to do with the Eighth Fleet. They have completed their mission and can return to the empire.

It is clearly recorded in this top-secret combat order that in the Ellunda galaxy, the later task is to drive the opponent's fleet to the star region and involve in the battle.The Empire and Alliance fleets were required to completely evacuate the Elendar system by [-]:[-] am standard time on July [-]st.At that time, the first defensive celestial body, which has completed the installation and transformation of the propulsion system on the periphery of the central defense zone of the alliance government, will enter the Ellunda galaxy after two accelerations.

At [-]:[-] a.m. standard time on July [-]st, the defensive celestial body will rush towards the Ellunda star, and a huge explosion will cause an annihilation reaction that will destroy the entire Ellundar galaxy.The remaining more than [-] warships of the federal government will be turned into the dust of the universe together with the Ellunda galaxy.At the same time, the front end of the center defense zone, one of the two paths between the alliance government and the federal government, was also completely blocked due to the big explosion that occurred in the Ellunda galaxy.Henceforth, the federal government will not be able to enter the alliance from this direction.

After reading the instruction book, the impression in the memory is automatically destroyed.Only then did Lin Jian fully understand how the end of this war came about.

However, at this time, these are no longer what she and the Eighth Fleet are considering.

At 24 o'clock in the morning on June [-], Lin Jian and the Eighth Fleet arrived at the military port of the front fortress.Before arriving at the military port, the Eighth Fleet also engaged in a small battle.

The battle took place in a restricted area where a smuggling fleet was robbed by space pirates.

The Eighth Fleet, which was sailing normally on the route, received a distress signal from the restricted area. Although it was a smuggling fleet, it was the fleet of the empire's citizens after all. Even if it was punished, it would not be the space pirates' turn to carry it out.So Lin Jian asked Qi Feng to rush over with five hundred warships.

After some fighting, the space pirates were quickly defeated and fled to the depths of the forbidden zone.Qi Feng, who had been ordered by Lin Jian in advance, did not go after him, and escorted the smuggling fleet to join the team.

Lin Jian hadn't planned to pay attention to such a trivial matter, but Qi Feng's report surprised her.

This smuggling fleet actually belonged to her old acquaintance Xia Lifenna. What surprised her even more was that when the human regime in the Milky Way broke out at this time, this girl actually led the smuggling fleet out of the country...

"Bring her here." After learning about this, Lin Jian didn't know whether to call this girl bold or crazy.

"Hey, help deliver the goods." These were the first words Xia Lifenna said after entering Lin Jian's office.

Lin Jian was speechless when she heard Xia Lifenna's words, "Do you know what time it is? The federal government is at war with the alliance. All the ships entering and leaving the border are warships. Will you survive if you are caught?"

"Of course I know it's a war now. Otherwise, why would I lead the team myself? This is a good time to make a fortune." Facing Lin Jian's questioning, Charifina's face was taken for granted.

Hearing Xia Lifenna's words, Lin Jian frowned: "What are you sending to the federal government?" At this time, she is also going to the federal government at a great risk. Is Xia Lifenna planning to make war fortune?

Xia Lifenna, who sat down on the sofa, smoothed her wine-red curly hair, and then replied: "Non-energy supplies for the fleet."

"You provide supplies to the Federation Fleet?" Lin Jian looked at Charifena and asked incomprehensibly, "Do you know that the Empire also participated in this war! After all, you graduated from a military academy, right? Don't you have any sense of honor as a soldier?" ? Many of the students who were at the same time as you are now serving in the fleet? Are you supplying their enemies?"

"Relax! Your Excellency the Lieutenant General." Hearing Lin Jian's words, Charifana laughed first, and then teased, "Although it feels good to stand on the moral high ground, sometimes it makes people feel very ignorant."

Brandt, who was also in the office, covered his face in pain after hearing the conversation between the two.

"What did you say?" Faced with undisguised sarcasm, Lin Jian stood up from behind the desk, Brant ignored the pain, jumped up from his seat, and grabbed her.

"Pay attention to your tone." Brant took Lin Jian with one hand, turned to Charifenne and said, "This month, more than 100 million people died at her hands, and she won't mind being in this office." Squeeze you to death."

I don't know if Brant's intimidation played a role, Xia Lifena stood up from the sofa, raised her hands in a gesture of surrender: "Okay, okay! I admit that what I said was a bit too much. Since the lieutenant general doesn't like to hear Let me talk, so this Major General, who has been an officer in the civil waterway patrol of the front fortress, can you explain to Your Excellency the Lieutenant General?"

The flames of war had already drawn on him, so Brandt had no choice but to take over the job, and he didn't dare to let Charifina anger Lin Jian again.He first pulled Lin Jian to sit back at the desk, and told her to stay as far away from Charifna as possible, and then began to explain to Lin Jian.

"You said that the court acquiesced in the smuggling under such circumstances?" Hearing Brandt's explanation, Lin Jian was surprised, "Why?"

"This kind of smuggling has a history of nearly a hundred years." Brandt replied, "Do you remember what I said when I was an intern at the patrol office? Including the palace, front fortresses, and finances, all have gained huge benefits from the smuggling trade. Smuggled goods are allowed in and out, except for goods that clearly violate the Shire Treaty, such as alien life forms."

"But isn't it during the war?"

"It's true that it's a time of war, but the war is between the federal government and the alliance government." When he said this, Brandt showed a rare sense of powerlessness on his face.

"You mean, on the one hand, the palace uses aid in the war in exchange for benefits from the alliance, and on the other hand allows smuggling to gain benefits from the federal government?" Lin Jian suddenly understood what Brandt meant, and then she saw Bu Rant looked at her and nodded.

"The emperor allows this kind of thing to exist?" Lin Jian continued to question.

"I don't know if the Prime Minister has taught His Majesty the Emperor this lesson." Brandt replied, "Actually, His Majesty the Emperor does not need to know these things, all he needs is a beautiful financial income statement from the Minister of Finance. "

Looking at the back of Lin Jian walking away, Brant looked at Charifina helplessly and said, "Why are you doing this? It's not surprising that Lin Jian doesn't understand the rules of the dark side. Everyone He has his expertise. You are committed to this place and you know the rules very well, so why laugh at others. Put you on this flagship and let you command a fleet, you are also an outsider."

After Lin Jian left, Xia Lifenna put away her teasing expression, showing a little tiredness on her face: "It's nothing, sometimes it's just that she is upset."

Seeing her appearance, Brandt shook his head, and didn't bother to talk about her anymore.Now the main problem is on Lin Jian's side, I'm afraid I have to work hard to persuade him.

When the two walked out of Lin Jian's office, they happened to meet Morris who was passing by.

"It's just right, Maurice, help me send this scourge to the flagship." Brandt grabbed Maurice who was about to walk over, ignored his frowning and gave the marine captain an order, "Again Let her stay here, I'm afraid she won't survive tonight."

Watching Brant walk away, Morris pointed helplessly to Charifena to leave the flagship passage, and the two walked side by side on it.

"Long time no see, Major Morris." Charifna smiled and walked beside him.

"I'm the captain now," Morris replied.

"Demoted again?" Xialifenna laughed, seeing that he didn't answer, she also fell silent.

It wasn't until she reached the position of the space shuttle that Xialifenna spoke again: "Why don't you follow me? It's always beneficial to have no fame. What good is it if you follow her like this."

Morris ignored her, opened the door of the space shuttle, bowed his head towards the space inside, and signaled her to go in. Only after closing the door, he said, "Being by her side, I feel that I am still alive."
